Biography

TRAINING: It is easy to become blind and see each day as a similar one. It is not the case. Training can't reflect routine and structure. A fight is not that, so why engineer a schedule like that? Most mornings I wake up and decide what and how I feel like doing then go from there.

When and why did you start training for fighting? My fight career began at 16 years old, when I realized that by living a few years of my life like most won't, I could live the rest of my life like most can't.

What does it mean for you to fight in the UFC? Anywhere that I can represent Queen and Country is a great honor.

Did you go to college and if so what degree did you earn? BA (Honours) Degree of the highest order in Media and Cultural StudiesWhat was your job before you started fighting? Agricultural land owner and licensed slaughterman

• Origin of nickname: “I can't help but wonder if my fight moniker of Kong was inspired by the Monkey King, who is known in traditional Chinese as Sun WuKong. 'Journey to the west' is a pretty good novel actually if you get the chance to read it.”
